Upon his father's death, Phil Moony was the sole heir to the old man's two most precious possessions: his car and his cat. The not exactly pleasant cat (named Phull by Moony's humor-impaired father) is the source of some tension in the Moony household, only partly due to the fact that Phil's wife, Frankie, is desperately allergic to him. But when the animal is stolen from the veterinarian's office, Phil doesn't see it as a solution to a difficult domestic problem. It's a matter of principle (and sentiment) and he's determined to find the thief.From Phil's old enemies at the Chicago Fire Department, who still bear a grudge, to the slightly dizzy receptionist at the veterinarian's office, to the veterinarian's wife, who has a history of stealing cats left in her husband's care, there is no lack of potential suspects. And when Phil goes to confront the veterinarian about the missing cat, he stumbles across the vet's murdered body.With the Chicago police half convinced he's responsible for the vet's murder and an ever-increasing list of very odd suspects in his cat's abduction, Phil Moony must turn Chicago upside down to find a cat that he's not even sure he wants back.
